This talk will highlight current and promising directions in the fields of Reliability Engineering and Risk Assessment. Leading topics such as research on the fundamental sciences that underpin risk and reliability technologies, challenges in reliability of ultra-complex systems of interacting hardware and software, utilization and processing of large data and

Increasing transmission capacity is essential to meet an increased demand of electricity, integration of renewable generation and so on. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines, which is a long and

The first two individuals to introduce reliability engineering in their work were: Dr. William Channing (1820 -1901), inventor of Boston’s fire alarm system over 160 years ago, and Fred Stark Pearson (1861-1915), chief engineer of the world’s first and largest public transit system of Boston.  Channing had carefully examined and
